AuthorTopic: Which album are you attached to most? (Read 21045 times)

(This question is open for eveyone-but might be more for the older Beatle fans like myself--simply because we had more time to live with each individual LP)

Most of us love ALL their work, for better or worse...BUT which album by The Beatles do you treasure the most in a sentimental sense..for example, it may bring back fond personal memories for you when you see the cover or hear the songs on this particular album, and so forth...

for me, it's Rubber Soul. Anytime I see the cover I'm literally transported back to late '65 (and early '66 when, at 13, I got the record for my b-day) It's the record that made me even a deeper Beatle nut than I was. R.S. is such a personal album for me....not only is it a beautiful work of art, but it's my personal time machine as well.

Yesterday and Today ( even though it was a U.S release ) does it for me. My older bother had the record albums, and I used to get into his collection and that was the one I played over and over. Of course later I got my own collection, first on tapes then later cds. But, of course with the cds Y&D was not released.

and that reminds me, Pasta...wouldn't ya just love getting the original "Butcher's" cover of "Y&T"?...I never did get my hands on one(but hope to someday)..I just had the standard "Paul in steamer chest" cover like everybody else had in 1966...but even THAT is nostalgic now...

I like to mix them up. Probably Abbey Road is my favorite Beatles album. Hard to say. I generally play whatever track(s) I'm in the mood for.

Yeah that's the one he had, the standard cover. But, how I miss those album jackets.

Hooray! I love Love. I think it was the second album I bought, along with Abbey Road.

I got into the Beatles in April 2006 when I heard Love Me Do play in a restaurant. So after that, I dug out my dad's "One" album and listened to the whole thing straight through. That was it for me, I fell in love with that CD and the Beatles. It was the first one I ever listened to, and it got me hooked, and I pretty much listened to it every day from then on. I remember that a lot of the songs sounded very familiar, having listened to them without knowing it in the car on vacation or something years before. So when I listen to the One album, I like to think about the very first time and that whole time period when I was just learning everything new about the Beatles. I loved the booklet inside, and was instantly trying to learn the lyrics to all the songs. That album did me in. Not necessarily my favorite, but I'm probably attached to it the most. There's a difference, I guess 'cause it was the album that brought the Beatles into my life.

But as for the original albums, Rubber Soul and Abbey Road were the first ones I ever bought a little over a year ago. I loved them both instantly, and couldn't stop listening to them. I thought they were the greatest. And also last summer, I hadn't bought A Hard Day's Night yet, but found that my dad had the record so I listened to that every day, even though it was very bad quality 'cause our needle isn't too great. I was into my whole Hard Day's Night kick, watching the movie endlessly and replaying the album over and over and over... I also have some fond memories of sitting on the couch on a snow day off of school and just listening to the Beatles almost all day, watching the snow fall. Heaven...

i know this is old, but sergeant pepper's. this is because i have GREAT (yet often simple) memories. for example: i have memories of me skipping around the pool as soon as i could skip holding the alum slipcover over my head while singing along with Lucy. great times
